Margo’s Got Money Troubles follows Margo Millet (Elle Fanning), the daughter of a former wrestler (Nick Offerman) and a waitress (Michelle Pfeiffer), as she navigates early adulthood and financial instability. After an unexpected pregnancy, she turns to OnlyFans to support herself, eventually reconnecting with her estranged father along the way.
The comedy-drama, based on Rufi Thorpe’s 2024 novel, premieres on Apple TV on April 15 and also stars Nicole Kidman.
1. Playful Daywear: Elle Fanning Styles Jimmy Choo “Skye” Mules With an August Barron Tulle Skirt
Elle Fanning showed up for her Live with Kelly and Mark appearance in a fun, feminine look from August Barron, paired with chic Jimmy Choo mules. Her outfit was playful and youthful, which was a perfect match for her bubbly personality.
Fanning wore a pair of grayish-light blue satin “Skye” mules by Jimmy Choo, which had a soft sheen finish. The minimalist style featured a curved strap across the toes and a low-cut, V-shaped vamp that added a sexy touch.
They also had an open square toe, adding a modern, sleek vibe to the look. Set on 2.7-inch, slightly curved heels, the mules definitely elevated the outfit with a touch of sophistication.

Elle teamed her mules with a layered glittery tulle skirt from August Barron’s Fall 2026 collection. It had a raw, deconstructed look, made from repurposed archive pieces, which is pretty typical of Barron’s approach of turning old garments into something fresh and creative.
The skirt hit just above Elle’s knee, letting the tulle flow gracefully as she walked. It was finished with a double bow detail, adding a fun, whimsical touch to her look.
For some contrast, Elle tucked a yellow-and-blue striped polo shirt into the skirt, giving the delicate outfit a fun, preppy twist.
She kept her accessories minimal, opting for the Cartier Les Berlingots De Cartier ring and skipping earrings or a necklace. For the finishing touch, Elle styled her hair in a simple ponytail, accented with a bow at the back.

2. Modern Tailoring: Elle Fanning Sharpens Up in Givenchy With Sleek Square-Toe Shoes
For the New York premiere later that day, where she also celebrated her 28th birthday, Elle Fanning switched things up and stepped out in a sharp, tailored look that embraced modern power dressing. I liked seeing her move away from softer, playful pieces toward something more structured and strong, while still keeping her signature charm.
The American actress wore a navy-blue pinstriped suit from Givenchy’s Fall 2026 collection, designed by Sarah Burton. This set featured wide-leg trousers paired with a slightly oversized, double-breasted blazer.
Her trousers fell in a relaxed, slightly pooled silhouette over her shoes—though a cleaner, just-to-the-floor hem would have sharpened the overall line. The blazer, meanwhile, delivered structure with padded shoulders, crisp lapels, and black buttons, lending the look a confident, tailored edge.
Elle’s shoes were mostly hidden under the trousers, but you could catch glimpses of their sleek, squared toes, which matched the suit’s clean lines.

The red leather tie wrapped around her neck like a scarf, adding a bold pop of color and breaking up the tailoring with a cool, unexpected twist. Wearing nothing underneath the blazer gave the look a slightly daring edge while still keeping it polished.
Styled by Samantha McMillen, Elle kept her accessories minimal with only two Cartier Panthère de Cartier rings. She wore her blonde hair sleek and straight, with rosy blush and a red lip that tied everything together effortlessly.

3. Sheer Drama: Nicole Kidman Pairs Gianvito Rossi “Dorotea” Sandals With Schiaparelli
Nicole Kidman joined Elle Fanning at the New York premiere of Margo’s Got Money Troubles, and she completely stole the show in this sheer look.
She wore the Gianvito Rossi “Dorotea” mesh sandals, which had a sheer effect, showing the natural shape of her feet.
They had suede trims for added structure, along with peep toes and side cutouts that gave them a light, modern feel. The slingback strap with a gold-tone Ribbon buckle kept them secure, while the 5-inch stiletto heels added height and a sleek finish.
These Gianvito Rossi sandals are available for $1,145 at Farfetch.

Kidman paired the sandals with a Schiaparelli Fall 2026 Ready-to-Wear set, featuring a long-sleeved hoodie-style top and a matching pencil midi skirt that echoed the sheer look of her shoes.
The fit hugged her frame like a glove, showing off her slender silhouette while remaining refined. It featured a striking black-and-white knitted scale-like pattern, with a white strip running down the center front and back, creating the illusion of a longer, leaner frame. You could see the outline of her figure, but she somehow kept it modest, wearing a black bodysuit underneath.
Nicole finished the look with an Omega Constellation Manhattan watch and Roberto Coin diamond jewelry, keeping the focus refined rather than overworked. A soft half-up hairstyle, smoky eyes, and a rosy lip added just enough romance to balance the bold, sheer silhouette.
